what does the pancreas do to regulate blood sugar? in layman's terms: the pancreas produces insulin (among other functions), the insulin helps the body break down sugars so they can be used for energy. with no insulin to break down sugar, the body has to break down fats and proteins for energy. that means the sugars stay in the bloodstream causing high blood sugar. that can lead to a whole bunch of problems. | 2 |

for the paintball expert - paintball barrels? i have an orion painball gun ( its crapey i know its just for starting out). the barrel is very small ( 8 inches ) witch does not give me good acrisy. i'm looking at a 16 inch barrel for $55 dollars could i put a spider or tipmon ( a diffrent kind) barrel on my orion gun? thanks first of all, length of the barrel has little to do with accuracy. it's more about the quality and consistency of the bore, and the size and quality of the balls. it also has some to do with the consistency of your gun, but there isn't much you can do to change that except for an expansion chamber or the use of an hpa tank with regulator. if the ball is too small or too big for your barrel, it has a low chance of shooting straight. if the paint has dimples or bumps in it, or a broken ball in the bag or the barrel, it will also shoot poorly. next time you play, try some other people's paint in your barrel. if you put it in, it should have 2-3 points of contact with the barrel and you should be able to blow the ball through it with ease. if most of the balls in the sample you test have these attributes, that's a good kind of paint to use. paint can still be inconsistent from box to box so don't expect ideal results every time. also, unless you plan on sticking your barrel through thick brush or need to push into airball bunkers, you wont get much of a performance benefit from a 16 inch barrel. some more things: rusty is sadly mistaken on a few things in his post. first, you have to see what kind of threads the barrel you want to buy has. a barrel that will fit a 98 custom will not fit your orion. it will not fit the a-5 either. you cannot get a flatline for your gun unless it is modified from the original. you can, however, get a bt apex barrel. it is a straight barrel but has a part on the tip that adds adjustable backspin. if i could suggest any good, cheap barrel to you, it would be any lapco barrel in your price range. they rarely disappoint. i'm pretty sure vl guns can take spyder threaded barrels but i could be wrong. make sure that someone else's spyder barrel can screw into the gun no problem. do not force anything. as for the pros. they don't all use boomsticks. heck, i don't think any pro team uses them anymore. they mostly use the barrels that came with their guns, because manufacturers' "best" guns usually come with the best barrels they make. and dye certainly does not make the best barrels on the market. that trophy would have to go glenn palmer. | 5 |

is there any disease that makes your hands itchy and bumpy? sounds like an allergic reaction (soaps, perfume, plants, chemicals, etc) or an autoimmune disorder (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, etc). could also be poor circulation from the cold temperatures. if you suspect allergies, avoid harsh chemicals, work in the garden with gloves on, don't use any new soaps, fabric softeners, perfume right now. you can try a hydrocortisone cream. if that doesn't work, or you suspect autoimmune disorder, (does it run in your family), see a dr. | 2 |

were any black men in charge or soliders in the korean war? the korean war (1950 to 1953) was the last american conflict involving segregated units of the arced forces, i.e. the us army. 3 american infantry divisions -- the 25th, the 2nd, and the 3rd -- contained black combat units during 1950/51. among the 25th division's 3 infantry regiments was the army's last black 24th infantry, the largest black unit to serve in korea. (the 24th infantry was also the army's only 3-bn regiment in action during initial weeks of the war. other american regiments 1st committed to action from peacetime occupation duty in japan contained only 2 bns.) accompanied by the black 159th field arty bn and the black 77th engineer combat co, the 24th infantry arrived in the korean combat zone beginning 7-13. on 7-20 the 24th's 3rd bn, reinforced by a battery of the 159th and a platoon of the 77th, was the 1st 25th division element to go into action at yechon. in an extraordinary 2-day action hailed around the world as the us' initial korean war victory, the reinforced bn drove the enemy from the town and recaptured it at a cost of 2 americans killed and 10 wounded in action to at least 258 enemy dead. subsequently, the 24th regimental combat team: held the most vital part of the pusan perimeter aug/sep, taking and retaking battle mountain 19 times in 30 days led portions or 25th division's breakout and advance westnorthward to the outskirts of seoul mid-sep advanced in north korea to within a few miles of the yalu river during late nov, and then staged a fighting withdrawal as the chinese entered the war astride the chongehon river and in the vicinity of kunuri crossed the han river near seoul with 2 other 25th division regiments on 3-7-51 (an important part of what un supreme commander general matthew b. ridgway characterized years later as "the most successful single action fought by troops under my command during either world war ii in europe, or in korea") crossed the hantan river northeast of seoul alone 4-11 in the face of determined resistance from a superior enemy occupying the commanding terrain stormed the heights above mando and ejected the enemy from fortified positions with a bayonet charge and hand-to-hand fighting with hand grenades, mid-sept 1951. during early aug 1950, the 9th infantry regiment's black 3rd bn and the black 503rd field arty bn arrived in korea with other 2nd division elements. initially, the black bn, a black arty battery, a tank company, and a company of engineers were detached and withheld front frontline action and assigned to guard an airfield near pohang. in early sep heavy combat losses among the 9th inf's 2 white bns led to the assignment of some 200 black soldiers as individual replacements, a practice heartily endorsed by the regimental commander, col. charles c. sloane jr. during mid-sept, having been introduced gradually to combat action near pohang and elsewhere, the 3rd bn rejoined in time to strengthen the 9inf in attempting to break out from the pusan perimeter. during late nov the last segregated 24th division (on the right of the 25th division) and the 1st integrating 9inf (on the left of the 2nd division) advanced in northernmost north korea side-by-side astride the chongchon river. on 11-25, hit more heavily (than the 24th, the hardest hit of the 25th division's regiments) by the chinese, the 9inf fought extraordinarily well as 2 integrated and 1 segregated bn, the latter temporarily reinforced 2 nights running by 2 rifle companies separated from the 24th's fighting 2nd bn. by the night of 11-29 the 9inf had been reduced to some 600 effectives as had its sister 38th infantry. on the morning of 11-30, these 600, spearheading the 2nd division's desperate attempt to withdraw south from kunuri, surrounded by the enemy, were virtually wiped out and the 2nd division was effectively destroyed. but a rebuilt 9inf, thoroughly integrated, thereafter acquitted itself well in action after action | 9 |
do you know any interesting way to practice english ( writing) ? i need to learn lots of new vocabularies and also i need to write much more faster .i have to notice to gramatical points as well.i am going to pass my future english exam .i am studing a pre intermediate english course . nothing like practice but reading also important. reader's digest has words to learn in the front usually. seems some internet resources - many - so important to choose 1 or two ways so you don't spread yourself too thin. it is really a life long process to learn, and what school should have been preparing you for all along. i found when i studied latin it helped a lot for understanding vocabulary. a buddy may help you to learn or keep on practicing as you learn best by teaching each other. reading books especially classics can help but i don't know how much time you have to prepare for this exam. a dictionary at your side is important so you can learn. a grammar book might help too but again that takes time. a buddy might help you keep on trying. good luck! | 3 |

is it legal for my landlord to obstruct delivery of mail? at the beginning of january, the post office removed the communal mailboxes from our street of condominiums due to disrepair. most owners/property managers have replaced the mailboxes. my landlord has not done so and does not plan to do so any time soon. by chance, i found that the post office would no longer hold my mail for pickup, but will begin returning it to the sender. since the landlord is willfully obstructing the delivery of the mail by refusing to provide a mailbox for his property, he is in violation of u.s.c. title 18, section 1701. or are landlords somehow exempt? what legal recourse do i have? will the post office pursue this? i'd check with the local post office to ensure that you're not expected to get a po box in this case -- if nothing else, you'll want to get the order that removed the communal mailboxes in writing so that you can prove exactly what happened to interrupt the mail service in the first place. but if the mailboxes that existed when you signed your lease have ceased to exist, then your landlord is probably in violation of the rental policy -- you certainly wouldn't expect a stove or toilet to suddenly be removed and not replaced by the landlord. the landlord is negligent in their responsibility to the property you are leasing from them (that is, paying them for); but they are not directly preventing you from accessing your mail in a malicious or personal way. the post office will likely be able to help you to address this problem, but i doubt that they will directly pursue it (as they would if your landlord were stealing your mail). | 9 |

how do i get a decent apartment with bad credit? i have never been evicted before but my credit is bad due to some bad decisions i made in college. anyway i'm looking to move back to my hometown but i need a decent apartment. depending on the results of your criminal background check, and previous rental history, you could offer to pay a month ahead. for example, when you move in, pay the deposit, the first and second month's rent. when the second month rolls around, pay the third month, etc. you can agree that if you fall behind you will move immediately and leave the place spotless. many apartment managers would rather rent the apartment to someone willing to show good faith and then follow through than leave it vacant. | 6 |
what's the best way to attract girls deeply? hi i'd wonder if you help me to find out how can i attract girls deeply and have their love for a long time thanx for your help mr. nobody..... first of all, your name suggest a feeling of facelessness....so what i think you need is some confidence. believe me dude, you are not faceless. in fact, hold your face up and look forward. there is definitely a chick for you out there, as long as you find your groove and ride it out to some lovin'. so confidence is number one, tied with having a quality attitude. now, people tell you that...but they don't tell you the flip side, which is being turned down. it will happen, so learn to suck it up, take mental notes (very crucial) on what worked and didn't work, and keep truckin'. love, like anything else good, never comes easy. two, is finding girls with similar interests as you. having things in common is the number one way to maintain a long lasting relationship. let's say you like.....collecting exotic candy from guam. you know you have a convention coming up, or weekly get-togethers at tgi fridays. take advantage. check out those chicks, because some of them might be hotter than jennifer lopez eating homegrown habeneros in the sahara. or at least pretty. in any case, use your hobby or your job as tools in your search. join a club, or actually go out somewhere these things you like are applicable. you like to paint or history, go to a museum or take an art class. you like comics, go to a convention. you like cars....hit up the car show chicks. etc, etc, etc. one note - do not go to the club or bar on saturady night and think you will come away with the woman of your dreams. there are more things i could tell you, be this should get you jump started. make sure you're clean, breathe is fresh, hair looks decent.......check your clothes and make sure they are at least clean and they reflect how cool you are, or can be. don't be a poseur. oh...when you are actually talking to someone who might be interested.....speak up and look into her eyes. have your spit together. good luck, buddy. | 8 |

why won't my laptop boot? i have an elderly ibm thinkpad 2611 that hasn't been used in over 2 years. i have recharged the battery (at least the indicator says i did), but it won't show any signs of life when i switch it on, even when plugged in to ac. any ideas? is the battery shot, can a hard drive die from no use? i'm trying to sell or recycle, but it would be nice to wipe the hard drive first; you know get rid of the remaining incriminating data... i suspect the bios battery has gone dead. i would look on ebay and find one and replace it. if it still does not boot the ibm iseries are getting rather old, so it might be time to retire it? if you have an attachement and stuff on the laptop you need to retrieve you can go to local laptop service center and for a $60+ diagnosis fee they will tell you what is wrong and how much to repair. should you repair it they will usually apply the diagnosis fee to the repair costs. | 4 |
if god rested on the 7th day(sunday) why do we bother him and go to church on sunday and bother him? actually, the 7th day is saturday. however, christians have gone to church on sunday for many years because jesus rose from the dead on a sunday. it's no bother to god that we go to church. he created us to worship/glorify him, so he likes it when we go to church. it's not work if he's being honored. when we pray, it doesn't bother him, either. we can pray any day of the week, and not just sundays. | 0 |

ovarian pain, did anyone have this same problem? i have sharp pains in my lower right hand side and now its travelling to my left side not. its always been there for about 2 years, ive gone to kidney specialists, family doctor, had ct scans done, ultrasounds, xrays etc and it seems no one seems to know what the hell they are doing. recently my pain has shot down my upper right thigh so i went to the dr yet again and demanded he do a pap test to confirm its not cervical cancer, when he did an ovary exam as soon as he put pressure on the ovary i screamed, it hurt like hell.now im waiting for the dr to write me a referral letter to a gyno...has anyone had similar symptoms to this? im worried its a constant ovarian cyst or something worse and i want to have children in the next 2 years, im very worried about all this. any help is appreciated. thanks it could possibly be an ovarian cyst, although if you had an ultrasound over your ovaries, it should have shown up. however, it might have burst, if the pain that shot down your thigh is any indication. in that case, when you do get into an obg/yn, request that you have an ovarian ultrasound and/or a laberoscopy. most doctors will say that it's impossible to have a cyst for more than a month, tops. but don't give up. i had one for six months that went ignored and then a year later i had to have surgery to remove from all of the scar tissue from when it burst. | 2 |

america why aren't you supporting team usa for the world cup? playing in the fifa world cup is the greatest joy for a footballer (soccer). the usa is one of the finalist 32 teams from all continents - they're good and they deserve your vocal support to go further. vacation in germany next month and give it up for team usa. hello? you there? too many people are influenced by their personal geneology to support team america. sure, the united states of america is great and it is absolutely the nation of hope and dreams; it is the most diverse country in the world and everyone seeks refuge and freedom here because of that. as americans, i for one love the stars and stripes. however, we do not forget where we've come from and our race becomes a bigger issue than the soccer itself. race, racism, racial profiling..they will always be a big issue and will not cease to exist. alot of people root for their native country for pride and for bragging rights. it may sound pitiful, but its the truth and this is the messed up world we live in. so that is why alot of people do not support team usa. | 5 |
r there any black republicans out there besides me? there are plenty, but they all get treated shamefully by the democrats (the party of the confederacy, slavery, kkk, jim crow, segregation, and bull conner). look at how they've portrayed conaleeza rice and clarence thomas. disgustingly racist, by any decent standards. democrats see you as a skin color, not an individual, who should follow a mob mentality and vote as they tell you to. they think you are incapable of achievement without their 'enlightened' help. they think you cannot compete intellectually with whites. they even put up fools, charlatans and criminals like jesse jackson and al sharpton to supposedly speak for all blacks. do any other races (or parties) have spokespeople? i'm glad to have you in our party. | 9 |

what do you think????? the cia had an opening for an assassin. after all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists - two men and one woman. for the final test, the cia agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "we must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. you have to kill her." the first man said. "you can't be serious. i could never shoot my wife!" the agent replies, "then you're not the right man for this job." the second man was given the same instructions. he took the gun and went into the room. all was quiet for about five minutes. then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. "i tried, but i can't kill my wife." the agent replies, "you don't have what it takes. take your wife and go home." finally, it was the woman's turn. only she was told to kill her husband. she took the gun and went into the room. shots were heard, one shot after another. they heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. after a few minutes, all was quiet. the door opened slowly and there stood the woman. she wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "this gun you gave me had blanks in it so i had to beat him to death with the chair." give a women a job, and the job gets done ! hahaha!!!!!! | 7 |
is sharon l. davis on the board of commerce? i'm sick of this e-mail floating around. i think it is fake and made by someone from costco. i cannot find one shred of evidence this "sharon l. davis" is actually on the board of commerce. what even is the board of commerce? i can't even find a website and i called the phone number and it rings and rings. i guess there are no secretaries at the board of commerce. here is a little tidbit i found about this e-mail and sharon davis. apparently she does work for the department of commerce, however she did not write the information contained in the e-mail: this new version claims this data comes from "federal budget analysts," but sharon davis , one of the women named in the chain letter, told breakthechain.org that she and ms. palmer have nothing to do with this message other than having "made the mistake of forwarding another version of this information to a few people." in other words, this is another case of false attribution syndrome. according to davis, "someone along the line added the statement implying that we authored and researched this. we are both only concerned citizens like everyone else." davis implored breakthechain.org and our readers to help stop the spread of this misinformation along with their contact information. | 9 |

how does paganism measure time? answer asap plz. its for a project. thank you for contemporary neo-pagans, we "measure" time the same way as others--with standard chronometric terms. but, as i think you mean, how do we describe and how do we conceptualize time--that's a different subject. how pagans describe time: we describe years using, much as many non-christians in the west do, the ce/bce designations for years. this is not 2006 anno domini (our lord)--for the christian figure jesus is not our lord. for us, as for jews, it is the year 2006 common era, and similarly hesiod wrote in the 8th century bce (before common era). how pagans conceptualize time: time is essentially cyclical, with some linear features. the same basic processes repeat themselves endlessly in the universe, but there is also change and a narrative progression (this latter process would be historical change, which we see as real but secondary to cosmological cyclicality). the most important units of cyclical time: (1) the wheel of the year: too complex to discuss at this length, the wheel of the year is the basic time motif of pagan thought. it is the procession of the seasons, the lunar and solar year, and the eight wiccan waypoints along the year. (2) the ages of the person: human life-cycles are also part of the unfolding of time. most neo-pagan traditions use the life-cycle of the human individual to talk about our individual lives in the larger flow of time. (3) the lunar cycle: the 28-day lunar cycle is, like the solar year, one of the two pillars of the pagan liturgical calendar. it maps the principle of cyclical flow, the hidden and mysterious qualities of being. (4) the day: like the year and the ages of the person, each day corresponds to the wiccan magical circle (east/south/west/north), traveling from dawn to noon to twilight to midnight and back to dawn. the solar day, the lunar month, and the lunar-solar conjoined year together with the individualized life-cycle describe our interdependent relationship with the earth and heavens around us, our inextricable place in the great web of being. there is much, much more to be said about this. but yahooo answers lends itself to the terse version. | 0 |

how changes in the media influenced the way people think about the news? the media greatly affects what people think. for example, if someone relies on the media for all their news, and the media omits something like: everyone is rioting at the president and changes it to everyone is fully behind the president it affects a persons bias. now in all fairness not all media are like this, but sometimes they fudge the truth (especially if they are corparatley owned and the government is giving them big multimillion/billion $ contracts, that encourages them to support the government. ex. ge owns nbc, and ge takes multimillion dollar contracts from the government because of the war in iraq, so on nbc they'll be more supportive of the war. yes, they'll show the negatives sides so they can look fair and balanced, but in reality it is a deception.) | 4 |

some of the tax law can be justified as promoting administrative feasibility (simplifying the task of the irs) prepaid income is not taxed until earned. state income taxes are allowed as federal income tax deductions. a deduction is allowed for contributions to qualified charities. the option to take the standard deduction rather than being required to itemize deductions. none of the above. if you want us to pick which of the options you listed simplify the task of the irs, the answer is the standard deduction. if you want to know the best way to simplify the task of the irs, see http://www.fairtax.org/ | 6 |
how can i get a lecture recorder?? what are the known types of lecture recorders or brands in the market...i have a walkman that has a recording facility..can i just buy a microphone and install it in the walkman in order to record lectures with a good sound quality unless the professor has special equipment offered then you probably aren't going to get very good sound quality. however, if you sit in the right place you should be able to get a legible quality through the idea you suggested. just move your seats around some until you find a good spot. also, make sure you ask your professor about recording their class, some of them could have very helpful things that they themselves use. | 3 |

what is the mutistation access unit (mau)? can you give a brief defination short for multistation access unit (also abbreviated as msau), a token-ring network device that physically connects network computers in a star topology while retaining the logical ring structure. one of the problems with the token-ring topology is that a single non-operating node can break the ring. the mau solves this problem because it has the ability to short out non-operating nodes and maintain the ring structure. a mau is a special type of hub. | 1 |

store sale from 6am to 8am, if you get to the register at 8:06 do you get sale price? lately there have been all these special sales at the stores. some opening at midnight,with people waiting on line for hours. if it is advertised that there is a sale from 6am until 8am up until what time do they still give you the sale price, is it 5 minutes 1 hour or what? i think they would be within their rights to refuse to honor the price...but a good system would have somebody that cuts off the line by some mechanism so that everybody that's in line already gets the sale price. | 6 |

don't you just hate the new technology? i just got a new coppier with fax and scanner and no manuell and no box will any of you help me figure out how it works! aw crap, i know this one. check if your copier has a usb cable with it. plug one end in to the copier, and the other end in to the computer. your computer should say that it's detected new hardware. hopefully, there will be a cd with it. put that in the disk drive and a set up wizard should appear (if not, click on start, my computer, d: (default) and run). follow the instructions on the wizard and there will be a manual in one of the "read me" files. really, once the usb cable is connected, it should do pretty much everything else by itself, or tell you what you need to do. hope that helps. my printer/scanner didn't have a usb cable when i got it, so i had to buy one. if you also have to buy one, make sure you know exactly which one you need 'cause there's loads of different types. | 7 |

cronic uticaria? what would cause hives for 5 months? i had hives for over a year. i would break out on my body, in my mouth, on my lips, and on my eyes! they are miserable. i had to find out what the cause was. i became aware of certain foods i would eat that would make my mouth break out. when it comes to my body i only use dove soap and all free and clear laundry soap along with downey free liquid fabric softner. i only use a colloidal oatmeal lotion such as aveeno. i also took 2,000mg of l-lysine daily which really kept the hives down to barely nothing. but, you should not take l-lysine for more than 6 months at a time so i decided to do a colonix and detox. i used dr. natura @ www.dr.natura.com. i used this for 1 month and now i continue to take their detoxigreen supplement and their multivitamin daily. since i have began using their product i have had no reoccurence of hives which i find pretty amazing! i refused to take steroids from the doctor becuase they don't work. an antihistamine will help somewhat with the itching but they will make you very sleepy. i am a busy person and i don't have time to fiddle around with all of that. i just got to the point that i felt my body was trying to tell me something was not right and at my age i felt i have had alot of exposure and buildup of toxins in my system and it was time for a good cleaning. check out the website and read about this product. i don't sell it, i just thought i would let you know that it worked great and try to save you some time in trying to figure out what to do about hives. i would go this route first. good luck! | 2 |

can anyone tell about the website of salary analysis in india for different industries? to make an analysis regarding salary details across india for all the industries covering all the profiles , so that the result will get number of advantage to view location , profile , industry to place a better placement this site www.allindiantaxes.com will be useful to you for salary analysis of consulting industry http://www.allindiantaxes.com/ait-news-39.php tax experts highest paid in consulting industry ait news network mumbai. poaching is the latest buzzword in consulting with companies finding it hard to get real domain experts in the field who can handle the clients independently .the pay packages of tax experts have touched the roof in consulting industry due to vacuum of experts and the cost is no more a problem for employers with more and more mncs setting up shops in india considering it to be the safest place in globe. the seasoned experts can be counted on tips and even placement agents run from pillar to post for searching a suitable candidate. a placement agent specializing in tax placements told allindiantaxes that though over 3 dozen irs officers have also floated their cvs; the companies are not so open to hiring them as only an exception from the government is suitable for consulting industry. the government officers mostly try to interpret the rules and regulations in favour of the revenue and find it difficult to change their mindset even after moving out of the government. besides they are not used to working 9am to 9pm which is the primary requirement of a consulting company as the delivery is required within stipulated time frame. the experienced consultants command their own price. the poaching of experts has become common in big 4 consulting companies (ernst & young, price waterhouse coopers, kpmg & deloitte) and a hike of 50 percent is considered normal when an expert moves from one company to the other. those who have the potential to move alongwith the clients command even 100 percent hike. when a partner (indirect tax) of ernst & young who was getting rs.75 lakh per annum moved to its rival; he was offered annual compensation of rs.1.50 crore. though the partners are not the stake holders in companies but they share a small percentage of profit. indirect tax experts are more sought after than even direct tax experts as income tax can be handled by any ca but only few have real expertise in customs & excise . a manager (indirect tax) of ernst & young was recently hired by its competitor for rs.30 lakh per annum. the fastest growing fields of sez and service tax have jacked up the compensation in the field. the going annual packages are as under: partner: rs.50 lakh to rs.1.5 crore director: rs. 30 lakh to rs.50 lakh senior manager: rs.18 lakh to rs. 30 lakh manager: rs.10 lakh to rs. 25 lakh but even after paying such high packages to their consultants; the companies are not at loss as they are billing their mnc clients at the following rates for their advisory services: partner: rs.15000 to rs 20000 per hour director: rs. 12000 to rs.15000 per hour senior manager: rs. 10000 to rs. 12000 per hour manager: rs. 5000 to rs.10000 per hour almost all the mncs have given global mandate to one or the other big 4 consulting companies and the indian tax heads have limited option to appoint indian consultant. rsm, bmr and khaitan & co have grabbed a share of mnc cake as their partners were ex-partners in big 4 and when they moved out of big 4; they moved with their team and their clients. ernst & young, rsm and khaitan & co are considered as best pay masters in tax field and almost all the companies are mute spectator to poaching as money is the biggest motivational factor for moving. retaining the seasoned experts is the biggest challenge being faced by the companies as when the experts move; the clients also move if the expert is moving to a big company. a big company is yet to recover from the jolt given by its head who moved with his team, clients and annual business of rs.3 crore. in long run the company's loss is estimated to be in the range of rs. 40 to 50 crore and its country head was on the verge of being fired by the company o | 6 |
convert me to your religion.....? ok, this is your chance. give me the best you've got. i have no religion really right now. should i convert to your religion? why? please don't give me something not well-thought out, like "just go read the bible and you'll see." give me something i can really chew over. i find that mildly insulting, since "just read the bible for yourself and you'll see" *is* my religious practice. i use many translations in an attempt to understand the context and meaning of the original words, and take timeout to actually *experience* god in my life as well, through prayer and observation. point 1) jesus said "you are not to be called teacher. there is only one teacher, and all of you are brothers. do not call any man here on earth your father. there is only one father and he is in heaven. you are not to be called leader. there is only one leader and he is christ." so if we only have one teacher, and he isn't obviously visible or tangible to everyone, it's going to take a change in our perception to find him. following any leader, any church, any teacher traps us. point 2) jesus said "the holy nation (kingdom) of god is not coming in such a way that can be seen with the eyes. it will not be said, 'see, here it is!' or, 'there it is!' for the holy nation of god is in you." as we respond to our internal reactions to the scriptures, we will find christ at work in it. point 3) romans 1:19-20 paul is saying: men know about god. he has made it plain to them. men cannot say they do not know about god. from the beginning of the world, men could see what god is like through the things he has made.this shows his power that lasts forever. it shows that he is god. we also react to the world around us, but it is the internal reaction which reveals god at work in our hearts. this works even if you don't read scripture. point 4) but jesus said, "it must be done, because we must do everything that is right." so then john baptized him. jesus did things that weren't even necessary for him to do. being baptized for example, was a way for a gentile (non-jew) to become "grafted" to judaism. so we see jesus being observant in all the ways a person can be observant. i try to act in a way that reveals god's presence and love to all people, jews first, but also christians, muslims, pagans, wiccans, hindus, and native americans especially, since i am living in their space and i am in part descended from them, mexicans, canadians, anyone stigmatized, homosexuals, the handicapped, the homeless, and that really annoying guy at work. this brings me to my final point) god is love 1 john 4:8,16 if you learn anything on the way that leads you to act hatefully, you weren't learning that from jesus. i'm sorry if you expected more. i hope you weren't expecting me to point you in a church you never noticed, sitting right there on your corner, with white doves perched on a running fountain. but fortunately, the religion i'm talking about is open to everyone, and not just the literate, not just the social, not just the convicted, but also the conversational, the solitary, and the skeptical. you seek god with all your heart and ability and he himself teaches you. | 0 |
